Advisor Access

A one-hour private consultation to tap into my knowledge of the 70 countries I've visited, plus two weeks of voice note follow-up Q&A as you plan. You handle the itinerary and decisions, I provide clarity, insight, and free hotel bookings without the cost and extra back and forth of full-service planning.

Advisor Access is ideal for travelers who:

• Enjoy planning their own trips but want expert direction and honest opinions
• Want clarity on destinations, pacing, neighborhoods, and hotel choices
• Value insider insight without committing to full-service itinerary design (most travel advisors charge ~$100 per travel day for it.) 
• Prefer a lower upfront investment with professional guidance
• Want a trusted advisor to sanity-check decisions and handle hotel bookings
• Love to dive deep into their accommodation decisions on their own via reviews, blog posts, videos.

Sample questions you might ask during the two week Q&A period:

We're torn between these two neighborhoods, which would you recommend? 

• I will use what you told me in our consult call - your objective of the trip, what style of traveler you are, any highlights you plan to see in a certain city, and use that to answer the question using what's the best fit for you personally, not just a generic answer, or what I would do. 

I've narrowed down our search to these two hotels, what do you think? 

• I will see if any of my colleagues have been to either and have additional, more detailed reviews than what you can find online. 
• I will let you know if I have any deals that are better than the publicly available rates you're seeing online, either free perks, free pre-confirmed upgrade, discounted rate, or Xth night free promo. 
• Explain a comparison of their locations.

Is this route too ambitious? (Too many stops, or too far from each other?)

• How many nights you'll spend in each spot may be a key discussion during our call, depending at what point in the planning process you are when you come to me, but it can also be discussed during the follow up Q&A. 

"Am I remembering correctly that you mentioned XYZ" or "Reiterate what you were saying about X vs. Y now that I've decided..."

Other comments:

• By voice note support, I just mean my answers will be delivered via voice note; you can send your questions to me over any medium; text, email, voicemail. I will respond via voice note on WhatsApp or iMessage, as it allows me to convey more information and intonation than email, and do it much more quickly than waiting until the next time I'm front of a computer to type of a detailed response. 
• If you're planning with a partner or friend, we can create a group chat so everyone whose planning can hear the responses in real time.  
• You're welcome to complete the trip intake form before our call so I come prepped knowing a bit about you and your destination, but I'm happy to do it all verbally as well if you prefer!
• Option to add additional weeks of Q&A support afterwards, if needed. You can resume additional weeks at a later time too - get enough information now to book your flights or decide on your stop by stop breakdown, then pick up more detailed planning and accommodation decision making whenever you’re ready.

I am very excited about this new offering, don't hesitate to ask any questions via text or What's App to +1-262-573-3224 or email to [email protected], such as confirming that I have expertise in the region you are planning!
